I made the toughest desicion in my life and I don't need you to tell me that I made the wrong one. Just admit it, you just, for some reason, don't like Stenum. I see that you have not made a desicion about getting an ADR and so when you do, maybe you can talk. I don't question any one's desicion on where they went to get their ADR. I pray that where ever they go and get it done that they are successful.

When I read through Dr B's website, they said they hadn't had any "serious" post-op infections. They named some graded classification that I can't remember at the moment. That doesn't necessarily mean that they've never had to treat a patient post-op for one. The statement wasn't very user friendly, but I don't think it was a misrepresentation.
